Netflix's Adolescence is a raw portrayal of youth crime and the forces of toxic masculinity that shape young boys into perpetrators of violence against women.

The series shows how crime among young boys isn't just about choices — it's about culture, socialisation, and environments that reward recklessness over emotional intelligence.
